With great amorality comes great consequences. The stove, and Pilot’s late friend, aren’t the only things that were vaporized that day. Once you see what happens when you pull the trigger, you change. How you change may not be up to you.

Well said, Peter. The day you have to pull the trigger for the first time when you know it was you, and not “someone in the firefight” that took a life, you are forever changed. You change yet again when you have to go hand-to-hand. Knife work and hand work is not for the young. For close up and personal, you have to release that ruthless, inner demon. That savage, feral beast that lives in each of us – kept by evolution in case of dire emergency. Not pretty.
